Stroke Support Group

A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.

Surgery after strokes?

My husband has had many strokes. I have seen worse after strokes. I must say. His is a weakness in all of his limbs, short term memory, headaches, leg nerve damage and speech. He is also a diabetic and has a blood clot. He was cleared to have breast surgery next week. Has anyone had surgery after strokes? Is there anything you did to help with the recovery? He has maybe 1 good day and 6 bad days. On his bad days he mostly sits/sleeps all day. Good days he might bake, cook or wash towels. I think he tries to help me because I still work.

Hi, my husband had a stroke nov 2005, he did not get his surgery needed till August 2006, he id not have any problems at all. Does your husband have physio on a reg basis? We found swimming was the best excersise going, infact he was put on a list to go to a group call strokers at our community pool, could not get in, put on a wait list, in the mean time we went ourselves and it is such good therapy without aches and pains. They have belts that are like life preservers and a lot of the people will do almost like arobics in the deep end. Do you get help for him???be kind to yourself, Joanne
